Xscape General Discussion

Don't worry man. "Michael" sold 3 million? "Xscape" will sell 5 mil at least ;)

Music sales have declined massively since 2010. Beyoncé's current album is one of the most hyped albums of past months and it sold 3 million world wide so far...

The Piratebay Torrent Was Fake..

I was just download only STTR half of the track ..

Dragged to audacity and checked it and its playing 2010 Tricky's Mix :rofl:
 
Re: News and discussion about new MJ album : Xscape, May 13, 2014.

i didn't realise that the 2014 version of a place with no name was going to be this different, they completely re created it.. and at points the instruments are much louder than the vocal tracks.. but on the other hand, it does fit with the 2014 generation of music. For the hardcore fans, we still have Michael's original versions which is a fantastic idea. Best track i've heard is 'Loving You'! by far, second is Chicago & third is LNFSG. It is a very well crafted album, you can tell that attention to detail was key in LA's mind with this project.

Haha yeah the new leaked one is FAKE although it has Chicago, Loving You, and Love Never Felt So Good. Otherwise, they're not the new productions
 
Re: News and discussion about new MJ album : Xscape, May 13, 2014.

I'm actually downloading the torrent right now. Will Let you know if its the real thing.

Dont waste your time, it's not real, just has Chicago and etc. The rest are the versions we've heard before
 
Re: News and discussion about new MJ album : Xscape, May 13, 2014.

- If the same people that bought "Michael" album buy "Xscape" PLUS fans like me (I bought 0 "Michael" albums and plan to get 6 "Xscape" albums).

If you're planing to do that, please don't forget to buy & pay for them separately so they count towards the charts!

An interesting read: http://www.nytimes.com/2014/05/11/arts/music/michael-jackson-the-remix.html?smid=tw-nytimes&_r=0 The description of Xscape (the song) makes it sound MEAN! :D


WHAAAAT :

“Xscape” does polish up these old songs, even if it wipes away some of Jackson’s ideas, like the big-band tango Jackson invoked on the demo of “Blue Gangsta.

SO timbo recreated it !!! although i am a timbo fan but i am curious to see who is he gonna top the original production of BG...
 
"Timbaland’s transformations are masterly. “Slave to the Rhythm,” about a woman enslaved by marriage and job, trades the demo’s mechanical beat for a jittery double-time barrage that ricochets against the vocal and makes Jackson’s percussive angst even more dramatic."

There we have it. The Slave To The Rhythm demo will NOT be Tricky Stewarts mix.

I have to say that i am completely amazed at the reviews. Unbiased, on-topic, sincere reviews. That stopped ever since bad was released.

Re: News and discussion about new MJ album : Xscape, May 13, 2014.

Those of us who have resisted listening to the streams should get the album before everyone else :D

Re: News and discussion about new MJ album : Xscape, May 13, 2014.

Myeah... 'PWNN' is my first disappointment. I feel the demo was great on its own. The chorus has lost its punch and depth... I dunno. Not a big fan of this. The music is bold and definitely a fascinating choice, and I like how the song showcases MJ's mastery of vocals. But that chorus... It's ruined.

Re: News and discussion about new MJ album : Xscape, May 13, 2014.

Been offline for a few days and I've missed so much, I love the new mixes, APWNN is my least favorite though, the original is better IMO, I still like the new version a lot though. I love She Was Loving Me, curious to hear what the demo sounds like, I love the new production. Loving You also, I love it, haha. My god there's a lot of love in there :p
